Nominate Aristophanes for Mr. Brightside

Similar to what he has but the added connotations of the song are perfect for him because

[Pine]

Wasn't that considered and rejected for Aristophanes last year? I think that's why it was changed to Mr. Blue Sky.

[Mathdino]

I already tried that, RC.

Nom Aristophanes: Mr. Brightside

He's very cheerful in my experience, and is always looking on the bright side of things. Add to that the musical reference since he seems to prefer titles with puns or references, I figure it's a slam dunk for him.

what does the reference to the killers song do?
wikipedia says that lyrically the song depicts the jealousy and paranoia of a man who suspects his significant other is cheating on him
despite the name "Mr. Brightside" it seems like the exact opposite of the kind of point you're trying to make

[...]I feel like that ability to write a spin on things is part of Aristophanes's charm; he can support something that would otherwise superficially be negative, and make it clear he is supporting it because he sees it as a positive thing.

That makes the song reference a perfect fit for his character--the song might officially have a negative connotation with it, but Aristophanes is the type of guy who can put a positive spin on it such that it is a

good

thing, matching the upbeat nature of the song's tune rather than the literal nature of the song's given meaning.

So I

nth

the Aristophanes title.

Re-nominate "Mr. Brightside" for Aristophanes.

I actually believe Mr Brightside is:
- A better (more recognisable) song reference (and a better song)
- A more communicative reference
- A more appropriate, funny and relevant description

Plus I agree with the people who proposed Mr Brightside in the first place. It speaks directly to the fact that, whenever confronted with the vitriol that is EVERYWHERE on this site, Ari either:
- Counters by pointing out bright sides of situations
- Counters by trying really really hard to find the inkling of a bright side
- or if the vitriol is especially harsh/dickish/uncalled for, counters with a passive aggressive yet completely polite takedown that basically conjures the image of Ari smiling through gritted teeth.

So yeah. I know Mr Blue Sky hasn't lived too long, but Mr Brightside was the right call.

Got double anti-nommed.

Absolutely not. I was fervently against it last time and even more fervently against it this time considering all the stuff from the Relationships thread and I think it's kind of fucked to bring it back up in lieu of that.

Also, you're wrong about the reference being better (neither are references, really, it's just the title of the song), and definitely wrong about being a better song.

I agree with Panzer. The Mr. Brightside nom seems kind of like a slap in the face to Ari, all things considered. And even if we take out the deeper context of the song lyrics, the two titles are so similar in name as to not be worth replacing one with the other.

I mean I did check to make sure he wouldn't be offended by me calling him Mr Brightside.

[RadiantCowbells]

Oh. I either missed that or totally cryptomnesia'd it.

I got a good one.

A few of you might not like it but fuck it, this is a deserved title:

Nominate Mulch for "Sonic the Hedgehog" or just "Sonic"

.

1. Pulled from the Wikipedia description of Sonic's personality:

According to various official materials from Sega, Sonic is described as a character who is "like the wind": a drifter who lives as he wants, and makes life a series of events and adventures. Sonic hates oppression and staunchly defends freedom. Although he is mostly quick-witted and easygoing, he has a short temper and is often impatient with slower things. Sonic is a habitual daredevil hedgehog who is honest, loyal to friends, keeps his promises, and dislikes tears. In times of crisis, he focuses intensely on the challenge as if his personality had undergone an astonishing change.

This is honestly enough for my entire case. It doesn't take many games/interactions with Mulch to know that

every single one of these things apply

.

Seriously, every sentence. It would be redundant to even list them out.

2. Sonic moves fast. Mulch runs turbos. He's also one of the fastest posters onsite.

3. Mulch literally ran a 21p role madness mafia game on 36 hour deadlines flavoured entirely around hedgehogs, and apparently likes hedgehogs given that he hydra'd with Firebringer under FireHedgehog.

Mulch is a well-known member of the community for these traits and the majority of his posts can be read as if the actual character Sonic the Hedgehog is typing/saying them.

Give Mulch a title.

[Killthestory]

mulch got a hedgehog emote added to a discord server and used it at least 200 times himself in a week.

[Annadog40]

This makes sense, Nth

[Mathdino]

i honestly guffawed when i read the description for sonic there

seriously it's so appropriate

i deleted the part about sonic rejecting amy's marriage proposal but not everything can fit i guess

[Mathdino]

Would also be into "Gotta Go Fast" which plays up the hyperposting elements more than the personality elements, and super plays down the hedgehog elements

Interested in discussion on that as long as the disagreement doesn't ultimately stonewall him getting one of these

[RedFlavor]

I liked sonic the hedghehog but gotta go faster is sonic's quote + I feel like the characters' quotes fit better to a title

Nth Gotta Go Fast
